It's a thread, and mere mortals without accounts see only the OP (OT?)

I'm starting to get the hang of nitter.net and here's the thread.

Other nitter instances were rate-limited or down. This one worked for me.

It's actually interesting.

I find it amusing that in this age of information technology, we still struggle to share a small page of text.

I think it's how one can imagine technology won't solve "humanity's problems". It's not that we are incapable - it's that we have different goals.

Thank you. That was wonderful! I couldn't figure out from the linked X (formerly Twitter) post what it was all about.

I think it's time for the good samaritans of HN to post nitter links for every X (formerly Twitter) post.

Also, is there some extension which I could add in the browser which would show the corresponding Nitter link?

Libredirect is the tool I typically use to get redirected to one of these sorts of mirror sites. That said, it won't pick a working Nitter instance, you might need to look up a list and find a few that work well.

Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

Or you can prepend "farside.link/" — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39154536

The threadreader link in this thread is also very good.

Too bad we have to devise technology to solve problems that technology in the wrong hands has created. I've been taking notes for years.

We need nitter to be read/write then we set.
